Nice title change. The original is "Re: The most insane proposal in regard to the Linux kernel development"<p>Maybe the author of that was or is correct, but we really haven't got a basis of comparison. We can't read MSFT's similar Windows kernel discussion, or Apple's similar Mach kernel discussion. It's an isolated data point. Comparison my lead us to conclude that Linux does not in fact suck compared to the problems MSFT and Apple have with the weight of their legacies, or whatever.
